But behind Scottie Thompson breaking out, a more mature Japeth Aguilar stepping up, solid play from Finals MVP LA Tenorio, and clutch and spirited performances from ageless duo Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa, you can't deny the fact that the main reason Ginebra is finally out of the kangkungan was a certain dude named Justin Brownlee.

Before he even hit that ridiculous game-winner, the runner-up for Best Import was his team's driving force, despite a couple of underwhelming performances in Games 1 and 4. For a player who wasn't supposed to be part of the team at the beginning of the conference, Brownlee sure turned out to be one happy accident.

So where does he rank among the past great Ginebra reinforcements? FHM weighs in:

9) Henry James

PBA cred: Debuted with 48 points against Mobiline; led Ginebra to a knockout game for a Finals berth, which they lost to the Formula Shell Zoom Masters

8) Wesley Matthews

PBA cred: Won Best Import and steered the team to the 1991 Third Conference Finals, where they were beaten by a Sean Chambers-led Alaska Milkmen

7) Carlos Briggs

PBA cred: Averaged 62.1 points during the 1989 Reinforced Conference, with a career-high of 89, on his way to being named Best Import; guided the Añejo Rum 65ers to the Finals, where they fell short to the San Miguel Beermen

6) Chris Alexander

PBA cred: Best Import awardee, who led Ginebra to its last championship at the 2008 Fiesta Conference prior to their Governors Cup victory.
